Title: Wende and Mitsuo Argument

Characters: Wende (guy!Wedy) Mitsuo (guy!Misa)

Mentioned Characters: L (fem!L) Ailis (fem!Aiber) Liang (fem!Light) Wilda (fem!Watari)

Rating: K+

Pairings: None

Warnings: A bit of swearing, courtesy of Wende.

Notes: This came to mind because I was thinking that there's no way in hell Wedy and Aiber completely accepted L's death or Light and Misa's "innocence" there's just no way they took it lying down. Then I thought of Wende and Mitsuo at L's grave, possibly just after the funeral and Wende loses his temper. So I decided eventually that yes this does take place just after the funeral, everyone has left except for Wende and Mitsuo. Wende uses this as an opportunity to speak his mind and in his opinion, put Mitsuo in his place.

The Task Force, Ailis and Liang had left all looking as though the world had crashed around them but Wende and Mitsuo stayed standing in front of L's grave.

The silence was almost unbearable. Mitsuo had silent tears streaming down his cheeks, biting his lower lip looking anywhere but at Wende and the grave in front of him. Wende on the other hand had his fists clenched, couldn't seem to look away from L's grave and looked ready to throw something sharp and heavy at Mitsuo.

Eventually Wende broke the silence with a snarl of; "Kira." It was obviously directed at Mitsuo.

Mitsuo flinched. "I'm not Kira" he mumbled.

Wende snorted. "Yeah, you're just the second one."

Feeling a prick of anger, Mitsuo scowled at him. "No I'm not" he said more firmly.

Wende glared at him, his blue eyes flashed with anger. "Like hell you're not" he snarled, "Convenient how L and Wilda die as soon as you're released. Very convenient indeed."

"Damn it Wende, Ritsuko was my friend!" Mitsuo yelled, his sadness seeping away into anger, "Why would I want to kill her? Why would I want to kill Wilda? I cared about them and I hate that they're gone!"

Wende looked as though he was resisting the urge to strangle him by this point. "Her friend?" he practically whispered, "HER FRIEND? Let me tell you something you arrogant bastard; I was her friend! I'm the one that defended her from bullies when she was small, I was there when her father got out of jail and wanted custody of her back, I'm the one that tried to stop her from having a panic attack at the sight of him and I was there when Wilda sent the son of a bitch packing because she had custody of her by that point. I was there when one of her best friends committed suicide, I was there through all of her cases, I was there when she had nightmares about the people she couldn't save, I was there for her when strangers in the street insulted her appearance, immediately assuming the worst about her based on looks alone. I was there when Beyond Birthday her former friend admitted to being the reason her other friend committed suicide, I was there when the last man she ever loved was shot dead in front of her, I was there for everything since she was eight years old! What have you done for her?"

Mitsuo stumbled backwards. L's father had been in jail? Her best friend committed suicide and her other friend was the reason for it? She had been bullied? Her boyfriend was killed in front of her? Why had she never told him?

'Because she didn't trust you, she knew you were a liar' whispered a nasty little voice in the back of his head.

Wende still looked furious but now he also seemed furious with himself. He took a few deep breaths, trying to calm down and then suddenly seemed very tired. "I shouldn't have told you all that" he muttered mostly to himself, "Leila would have kicked me for it."

Leila. Leila Lawliet. L. The girl who was now buried six feet under the ground in front of them.

Wende shook his head. "Fuck this" he muttered and stormed away with a final glare directed at Mitsuo. "You were not her friend Amane." And then the furious and saddened cat burglar was gone.

Mitsuo stared at L's grave until his eyes watered.

"I…I'm so s-sorry Ritsuko-chan…" he whispered, trying and failing to keep his voice steady, "I let y-you down, didn't I? Damn it all you must h-hate me…I'm sorry, I'm s-s-so s-s-s-sorry…"

He collapsed to his knees, crying for his fallen friend; though as Wende pointed out he didn't really know her did he?

…

A/N: This argument has been stuck in my head for a while. I like Wedy and by consequence I like Wende, I'm happy with how his personality turned out :) You'd need to read his backstory to understand how he's known L since she was eight, let's just say he was at Wammy's with her. Also a fun fact for you all; this is the first time that Mitsuo refers to L as "Ritsuko-chan" instead of "Ritsuko-san" or "You reclusive weirdo!" He never really refers to her as Ritsuko-chan aloud, in fact he barely ever talks about her because he knows Liang will either change the subject or go on a rant about how "that interfering bitch is finally out of my way! Good riddance to her!" So he keeps his guilt to himself, but he also feels happy to know a bit more about her, it's just something to lift his spirits a bit whenever someone mentions how little they knew about her, he can smile a little bit and think to himself that he knows more about her than any members of the Task Force or Liang do. Sure he didn't find out the information in the best circumstances but he has the information and he feels a bit closer to L because of it and somehow it helps him cope a bit better whenever he feels guilty and whenever he misses her.
